The release of methane and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is an issue that continues to plague society due to high usage of fossil fuels and expanding landfills. In an effort to combat the levels of CO2 and CH4 accumulating, chemical engineers have turned to the dry reformation of methane to produce syngas (H2 and […]
B01: Effect of Polydimethylsiloxane Support on Nickel-Based Catalysis in Dry Reformation of Methane
The release of methane and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is rapidly increasing with the growth of dependence on fossil fuels. In an effort to combat the levels of CO2 and CH4 accumulating, chemical engineers have turned to the dry reformation of methane to produce syngas (H2 and CO), an inexpensive product with higher energy […]
B29: Copper-Catalyzed Deaminative Difluoromethylation
A difluoromethyl group (CF2H) is considered to be a lipophilic and metabolically stable bioisostere of an amino (NH2) group. Therefore, methods that can directly convert a NH2 group into a CF2H group would be of great value to medicinal chemistry. We report an efficient Cu-catalyzed approach for the conversion of alkyl pyridinium salts, which can […]
